SIMPLY AUTOMATED UMA-E-W STANDARD UPB APPLIANCE RELAY MODULE

A STANDARD IN ANY UPB LIGHTING CONTROL SYSTEM

Simply Automated’s Appliance Relay Modules (UMA series) deliver on/off control for appliances, fan/pump motors and fluorescent lights. They are plug-in modules designed to control 120VAC appliances, fan/pump motors, fluorescent and non-dimmable lights using lighting scene-link commands received over the powerline.

Installation is simple: the module is plugged into a standard 120 VAC outlet of the appliance or light to be controlled is plugged into the bottom of the module. The connected appliance can then be manually controlled by a UPB switch or multi-button controller, or automatically controlled with a scheduler, I/O module or with any PC, security or home automation controller that provides a UPB serial driver software option.

Note: See the Lamp Dimming Modules (UMA series) for incandescent lamp control.

The lighting scene commands are communicated using the highly-reliable Universal Powerline Bus (UPB) technology. UPB technology requires no new or special wiring. UPB devices – such as switches, multi-button controllers and schedulers – are easily integrated in to a new home or can replace switches and timers in an existing house. The powerline network is created and devices are added and configured with UPStart software. The solutions provide a flexible, low-costs alternative to hardwired or RF home lighting and automation strategies.

APPLICATIONS

Appliance (relay) modules provide a convenient solution to add controlled fans, fluorescent lights, fan/pump motors or outdoor lighting to a room, garage and yard. They can be moved from one outlet to another meeting present and future load control needs (Christmas lighting, for example).

The most common use of the appliance module is to add outdoor lighting or water feature control in the yard outside a home, controlled by a scheduler (model UCS) or UPB switch. If the outside lighting should be on after dusk and the water feature on during waking hours, the module can be automatically activated with the scheduler's celestial clock and scene-link controls. The celestial clock knows when the sun rises and sets and automatically compensates for daylight savings and leap year. The vacation mode setting of the scheduler can also control indoor UPB lighting while your away, with a simple change of the run mode.

Fluorescent lighting control in the garage is also a popular application for the appliance module. Replacing a garage light switch with a US2-40 and ZS25O faceplate, adding an appliance module to an outlet and connecting multiple fluorescent lights can turn a poorly lit garage into a bright workshop. The single rocker of the US2-ZS25O combination can be used for the existing light load while the multiple buttons can control a variety of lights and workbench appliances.

A door, gate or garage door sensor connected to an I/O module (model UMI) can trigger lighting scenes for appliance modules, illuminating the garage as well as the yard and entrance to the home – whenever the door is opened.
